Passage Read: Micah 1-4
Meditation Verses: 4:6-7

Thought

The Lord promises to set the lame and the one cast off into a strong nation, never to be abandoned, never to be oppressed again, not as long as He reigns. He will establish justice throughout the earth, no nation shall practice evil. The weak will no longer have anything to fear. Though now we are weak and anyone can do whatever they want with us, then we will be safe and be able to enjoy our own home and land with nothing to make us afraid.

Application

I must not put too much stock in this life, it is temporary and a training ground for eternity. Will I love the Lord more than anything else? Can I give up everything, even my own dignity in order to remain faithful and obedient to the Lord? I can be lame now and the one easily cast out in this life. If the Lord is my greatest desire, then I will be fine. Not in this life, but in the next.
